Need an oppinion...

From non-biased members

All those guys on the BMW boards always pick the wheels that they have.

Would you guys put these (Hypersilver with polished lip)



Or these gunmetal wheels (also with a polished lip) on a black 540i?

This one is photochopped

Hypersilver looks better with black.

I picked the supersilver... I don't like dark rims on a black car... Some people like that all black look, but I think a little silver (or polish lips, or chrome) looks good...

Cool

I like the Gunmetal...

I am one of those ppl who likes black rims on black cars... (with enough of a polished lip for contrast - that will always look good - IMHO)

Ciao

No, this it the car that those rims are going on. Tints will be on tomorrow. I took these pics because the guy who sold me the angel eyes and the xenon bulbs wanted to see what it looked like so that's why most of the time my lights are on.

Go with the hypersilver. If you're going to get a colored wheel with a black car, you want black w/ polished lip.

Really? I haven't even seen one 5er with the Schnitzer Type IIIs, besides a couple of guys online.

This is one of them, I think it looks pretty good

No, the first ones are replicas. Bt ACS makes ones that look just like the ones in the first pic. Don't really feel like spending over $4K on wheels without tires right now

I would keep your stock wheels for now and lower the car instead.

First I'll be getting a new front bumper.

I'm also thinking about these RD Sport RD2s

Yeah, still waiting on the modified Clutch Delay Valve, short shifter, and better aftermarket transmission mounts. Should have them by the end of the week.
